Required Metaheuristics

[HeleNoir]

These metaheuristics (and their most common operators) have to be included in this framework. Only check if basic version AND common operator variations are implemented!

Baselines:

• [x] Random Sampling
• [x] #30

Population-based:

• [x] Genetic Algorithms
• [ ] #73
• [x] #74
• [x] Ant Colony Optimisation / Ant System
• [x] Particle Swarm Optimisation
• [ ] Scatter Search
• [x] #83

Single-solution based:

• [x] #49
• [ ] Guided Local Search
• [x] #97
• [ ] Variable Neighbourhood Search
• [ ] Simulated Annealing
• [ ] Tabu Search

Additionally, one metaheuristic using a different schedule should be included (see also #11 ), e.g. Chemical Reaction Optimization.

The Chemical Reaction Optimization algorithm is the option I would prefer. Other options include Coral Reefs Optimization, Flower Pollination Algorithm and Marriage in Honey Bees Optimization.

Chemical Reaction Optimization should be easy to port to our new architecture by now, and we can probably reuse most of the existing code.
